INSPECTION

NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot in these sentences express the temperature of the sensors themselves. "Cold" is from - 10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).

1. REMOVE V-BANK COVER
2. REMOVE BATTERY CLAMP COVER, AIR CLEANER INLET AND INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR

3. INSPECT VVT SENSOR RESISTANCE
a. Disconnect the VVT sensor connector.




b. Using a ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold 835 - 1,400 ohms
Hot 1,060 - 1,645 ohms

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.

c. Reconnect the VVT sensor connector.
d. Connect the VVT sensor connector.

4. REINSTALL INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR, AIR CLEANER INLET AND BATTERY CLAMP COVER
5. REINSTALL V-BANK COVER
